Reflashed twice, and cleared caches, still no root. Guess I'm clearing data.

damn, just started using this rom and I must say, high praise man. It's nice to have a phone that actually works now. Schweeeettt. Great work guys. Love the color styling too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gigamesh:
1st off, I would like to say thank you very much to the developer and testers!! I know you have all put in a lot of time on this and I must say I am loving this rom!!

Im sure that the next two questions have already been answered, and I have drastically searched for them but as for myself, as well as all of you, I have a busy schedule outside from here, and apologize in advance!

Q1: What is the big advantage of flashing from EB13 to EC05 if everything is running fine for me & is it suggested, and if so can I flash EC05 right over EB13? currently running Build Twilight Zone FroZen-1.0.3. on EB13 & everything is great!

Q2: With two exceptions to Q1 above, I have to shut my device down completely on a power cycle, otherwise I lose the framework, or should I say I get FCs on everything, for example if I pull the battery before the vibrate on shut down.

Also, I cannot update my profile or PRL at anytime, I would assume both issues mentioned has to do with Journaling and or permissions, but am still too new to know, also if there are fixes to this, please, please link them in a reply so I can bypass this shutdown process if needed.

Again super work here and a big thanks to kOnane & to the ACS team,

especially to theimpaler747

for all of your responses and wisdom helping others along the way, I am happy to help break your thanks meter!!!

[Epic 4G Android Development] n0esc:
Here is my personal opinions to your questions...

A1) The advantage to EC05 over EB13 is the updated modem which seems to me to be a bit more stable and better signal wise. There are also a few small bug fixes and changes that are outlined in post 2 I believe.

A2) I don't think it would be advisable to bypass a full shutdown when doing a battery swap in any case, however the fix to re-enable journaling to at least drastically reduce the likelyhood of problems if you do a battery pull is to do a complete nandroid backup using Clockwork and then do a full restore from that same backup. Any restore of a nandroid backup re-enables journaling. I have done this and I can say in my experience I have yet to have any problems with force closes.

Also of note I see someone on the Vibrant forum has found an issue regarding the permissions. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1025460

Some of this likely will carry over and apply to the Epic as well.

I've been getting this since switching to 1.1.0 as well, even after wiping/reflashing twice. But at least I know the DRM stuff isn't running, I guess :o
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Good find on the permissions script. Maybe it can be looked into for the epic

Seem after switching over to DK28 modem helped with signal a lot. i no longer loose data connection. I will try going back to the EC05 later today to see if the signal goes back to bad.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shook187:
I discoverd a bug while runing this rom which I never had with anyother rom. When I play anything multimedia, like youtube videos, it will randomly mute my phone on occasion, enabling me from hearing anything including my phone ringing. Anyone with this problem?

My phone battery just went to ****, I was lookin at spare parts and found a few abnormalities, when I try to click on 0 and 1013, I get force closes. Here are the pics:
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
So something odd is using your data.... turn data off, see if that helps, and if so, we can take it from there.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Will do and report back. Do you have any idea what 0 or 1013 might be?

i just tried that and i got the fc also..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Yes, there have been a few others reporting this issue in this thread. You're lucky to even be able to use Youtube.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I use youtube just fine, as do most of the users here.

Well crap. I use the heck out of wifi Tether. so if I go back to the older version there is no issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
I used the WiFi Tether included with this ROM today and it worked with my Macbook without a hitch. No force closes, no reboots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
Just an FYI, the rom comes with pre10 and pre11 was released on the wifi tether site.
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowmanwithahat:
Same, it sounds like it's been hit or miss but so far with me it's been all hit.... The only complaint I have with this rom was 1 force-close on gmail, after installing a themed Gingerbread GMail in the Gingerbread Theme update.zip.... I cleared the cache and it worked fine from there on out.

Sick rom so far guys... sadly I haven't gotten a feel for the battery life yet, in fact I've nuked mine in a short period of time from all the updates and flashing lol

Guys please read and read and read more.......there are absolutely no issues with gps, speeds, etc or any of the normal things that are on the rom....people need to learn to read...a lot of posts are the same thing over and over....answered and answered over and over......do some research...it is YOUR phone....and peeps learning to flash for the first time should not really be asking in this thread......lets let the developers, develop.......not answer the same silly questions over and over....I will help anyone...idc if you are a booN or a lifer...but you also have to help yourselves.......somehow i never have any of the problems posted in all rom threads...but I read a and read more......just saying...not directed at anyone in particular....trick of the trade is backups cause lots of issues.....so take that to heart....

Great work ACS team.....rom works outstanding....the few minor glitches that have been reported are very minimal....

[Epic 4G Android Development] MojoSwag:
To those that aren't having problems with wifi tether, are you running the standard or fully loaded rom? I'm running fully loaded and no matter how many times I wipe and try to run it, I get fc. Maybe its something in there that could be why so many people are having problems with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
What kills me is that the total since boot screen shot was only since 1130pm last night. So the majority of the time I was sleeping. Only drove to my girlfriends house and back home using pandora and a little web browsing. I didn't run anything else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Could be pandora.... that may be lurking, as it uses a bunch of data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Thread cleaned. Any more trolling will result in an infraction.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Not all the people are having issues. The majority of the people that use the rom with zero issues aren't posting 'I HAVE 0 ISSUES WITH THE ROM!'. There are some identical issues that are shared among people because the same thing is causing them, obviously.

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
An excellent point, so here is my report: Not one problem with this rom since I first flashed it more than two weeks ago. And no need to report known problems with any apps... (they're there, but we know this)
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
My phone mutes on occasion with video streaming. Not a big deal, and the only issue I have noticed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dbpaddler:
Guess people haven't realized now that the majority of people that will post on their experiences are the ones that have a negative one. If one is happy and content they are most likely just enjoying their phone. Outside of the common shared problems, the ones that vary vary because everyone has different crap on their phone, do different steps while flashing and so on. If you took 100 fresh stock ec05 phones and flashed syndicate, I'm sure the # of non-shared problems would be minimal. The devs can't control individual environments and people getting heated about it just need to chill. That's the reason the answers are to odin to stock & start from scratch or wipe wipe wipe and start from scratch. To create as basic of a starting environment as possible to minimize problems. There's a reason why you don't carry over data at times especially if you've previously had issues. If you can't manage to take some blame (if that's even the right word) and some constructive criticism/help, then go back to stock and stay out of the development realm.

On that note, what can I do so they stop sapping so much network usage?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Catalyst Shift:
I've been using this rom for almost a month now and I'm starting on sorting out the battery life. No matter what I do, heavy usage, light usage, juice defender, overclock, etc, I always get about 10 hours of battery. I've checked spare parts and the only thing that seems strange is network usage usually has processes 0 and 1013, and if I click either of them for more info it will crash back to the last screen. I'm starting to use juice plotter to try tracking down power usage, so far the graph looks pretty much the same when the phone is getting used or idle. Is there anything else is should be using to track down power issues or anywhere else in the rom I should look? I've tried calibrating the battery, reinstalling the rom, clubbing baby seals, clearing caches and fixing permissions.

Edit: just noticed the mention of 0 and 1013, I had seen what they were before but not to get confused what I thought was strange was it crashing when clicking them for details. Also 1013 running when I did no media related things at all that day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
First of all, 10 hours is not terrible for the Epic. Now, do you use pandora or music streaming much?
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Make sure that when you aren't using apps like pandora or other streaming apps that they are closed and not running in the background.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Actually, I am running the genocide kernel HIGHLY undervolted. My battery drained 4-5% an HOUR last night while unplugged on idle.

Just a day ago my battery was only draining <1% per hour on IDLE, and I'm used to 20+ hours of battery life per day. That had been my battery drain for the last week and then all of a sudden this happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
I have used Youtube a ton...zero issues...just used it like 10 minutes ago...have never had it not work and have never had a sound issue....so stop trolling and trying to bash the rom....obviously it is compicated for you to get the rom running....so move along to something that fits your level better...

I have been doing some searching to resolve my minor issues that I am having right now but cannot find the answers I need. So I am going to put them out here now and hopefully I can get these issues resolved and maybe help others in the process.

Like others said this rom is amazing and i do really like it. But there are a few bugs that hopefully there are fixes for. and here they are..

1. When viewing pictures in the camera app sometimes it will just freeze for no reason. This requires a battery pull. I see there is a link to a new kernel that may address this so i am going to try that next.

2. I could care less about the stock browser because I use skyfire, but I do have issues using the bookmarks within skyfire. If i hit the bookmark button i get a FC. I have read several times that the fix is to push a browser.apk. Well I do not know how I push this file. I tried installing it and it would not install. How do I "push"?

3. I love the AOSP lock screen. I downloaded the one from the 2nd post and it totally hosed my phone. I had to reload the rom and of course my apps and widgets (which of course is a pain in the arse). Is there a working AOSP lock screen?

Thanks for any help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dubar:
been on this rom for a couple weeks now and battery life is PHENOMENAL.

I also have a xoom now, which I use for the majority of my at-home use. The epic still serves those purposes outside home since my xoom doesnt exactly fit in my pocket. So what I did was install the rom over a fresh wipe, and did NOT restore apps. I installed the widgets that I use and the apps I need as I need them, so I'm stripped down to bare bones. I've never had battery life like this on my Epic. 1% an hour on idle seems about right, and even when I'm heavily using it, the drain is hardly cumbersome. The only time I even worry about my battery life is if I forget to charge it overnight, but a 12-hour workday with my phone coming out of my pocket occasionally for calls, emails, and quick browsing, and my battery easily lasts the whole day and into the evening.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, it seems like the majority of the battery drain issues that people are seeing comes from the apps they use and how they use them, and not at all from the rom itself. The fact that this rom has completely removed the TWS bug for me helps a LOT too (went from 50-60% regularly to maybe 5% max).

FYI my battery right now: 5 hours off charger, 1hr display, TWS 0%, 85% battery remaining. And I use a Live Wallpaper.

The lack of positive remarks is something I've noticed as a problem across the board for these forums. People arent naturally inclined to make posts like "everything works great, this is awesome", because there really isnt anything to talk about. But what happens is, someone is looking to buy a new device and goes looking through the forums and all they see is threads and posts about "my gmail FCs all the time" and "I flashed a rom from another device and now I'm bricked", so they get a negative image of the device. I'm not saying that people shouldnt come here to help solve their problems; I've learned a hell of a lot from these forums by screwing up stupid things and figuring out how to fix them, but the majority of posts come from a minority of people who have fairly rare and unique problems, and it affects the image of each device from the outside looking in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MakeMoves:
Just wanted to report that I am one of the users that have had freezes randomly, about once every day or two. Using the fully loaded version just how it came, no over/underclocking (dont even know how to do that).

Since it doesnt happen that often I dont want to flash other kirnals, will just wait for the next update and see how it goes.

Other than that Im very happy with the rom, thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Really, just flash the 1.0.4 kernel.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Catalyst Shift:
I do, but why I think my battery life is strange is that using pandora or not, it's always about the same. Doing things that should drain more power seem like they still kill the battery as much as idle. The juice plotter graph didn't change angle between the long stretch of my phone being idle with juice defender turning off the radios and the stretch of time streaming pandora. I actually just disabled juice defender a little while ago and the graph is starting to show less power usage oddly enough. There's also been random times in the graph that power usage drops for a little while, trying to figure out what happens at those points. It will have been idle for say an hour and somewhere in the middle of that hour the power usage will go down briefly, then back to usual. I've started keeping the screen brightness higher and that has made no apparent change in battery usage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Could be that those apps are running in the background and killing the battery.

Konane,

Not sure how but after updating to 1.1.0 my phone no longer vibrates. Its seriously just silent. I reflashed and its still doing it. What could be causing it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not to sound facetious, but are you sure it's set to vibrate? If so, then wipe data.

hey guys. I just rooted with "One Click Root & Recovery for the Epic 4G! v2.5.5 Now has ClockworkMod Redirector" and then wiped data, cache, and flashed this rom and my phone has been stuck on boot for about 7 mins. What should I do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You have to root with 3.x then flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] abaileyb:
So how can I get out of the bootloop to root 3.0

[Epic 4G Android Development] Catalyst Shift:
Any tips for tracking that down? Spare parts shows no usage from any of them, other than times where I am actively using them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Very odd, as they should show as partial wake usage if they're running when they shouldn't be.... do they show there?
[Epic 4G Android Development] shook187:
Any Reason when I use any app that utilizes the web browser some pages can't be display? I get a message "web page not available" then it shows a long web http: address below.

Are you using the browser that came with the rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] shook187:

[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Could be a network error then. OR even a problem with the app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zentex:
I'm seeing less "reported" signal with this rom vs the stock EC05/EB13. Wether this is a case of differnt values for differnt bars or it really is less reception, I do not know.

And on another note, not being able to turn off location in the camera sucks. Makes my tinfoil hat buzz ;-)

I've also noted some funkyness with the wifi signal...nothing that's a deal breaker thou
[Epic 4G Android Development] Catalyst Shift:
If they show at all under partial wake, they're running when they shouldn't be? Slacker shows today for 39 minutes partial wake, which sounds like how long I was using it for.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tgrable:
Yes.

Phone says im on S:D700.0.55.EC05.

So I would assume yes. I flashed the modem from the original post. Should I try to flash back to the old modem?
